Glitching to Fix Time {Poor Execution, Rewrite occurring in diff book}

Ch 8: Rip the mission highjacker

"Indeed I did, creator." Gideon replied. "I have it on record."

"Gideon, delete that recording!" Rip ordered.

"Giddy, don't you dare!" Clarity denied smiling as Rip glared.

"All right, now that you've confessed your undying love what's your plan?" Sara asked him the two shaking hands as Clarity got out of the way.

"Right, this outlier... The vampire... Is most likely the objective of Mallus. Catch the vampire, catch Mallus." Rip explained to her.

"Sounds like we're gonna need vampire bait." Sara commented

"Me?" Nate pointed to himself as everyone looked at him. "Is it 'cause I'm handsome?"

"Pretty." Mick corrected.

"Pretty handsome." Nate did a thumbs up.

"Well actually it's more like you can steel up so if the vampire tries to bite you they'll break their teeth." Clarity patted his chest.

"Could wear a necklace of fangs." Mick grunted drinking from the whiskey bottle.

As the four of them went out to catch the vampire Clarity opted to stay on the ship and hang out with Jonas. Zari was even getting in on the fun. The little boy reminding her somewhat of her brother. Behrad had liked videogames too.

"Don't you want to do something else besides play that?" Clarity frowned Jonas and Zari still playing on the ds's. Clarity having died straight off the bat. She was much better at wii and computer games than handhelds.

"Well, that was invigorating." They heard Rip over coms. Sara and him having just chased a carriage Nate was thought to be thrown into.

"You find Pretty?" Mick asked Clarity listening in.

"No, we lost him." Sara replied throwing up her hands.

"We found potatoes." Rip replied holding one up.

"Your right he is a rubbish sherlock." Zari grinned as Jonas laughed.

"Potatoes!? That's perfect! Bring some back with you!" Clarity turned both their games off as she leapt up.

"What?" Sara asked in confusion Jonas and Zari both making sounds of objection as their games saved and then went dark.

"Don't question my brilliance." Clarity denied clicking off her com. "C'mon, let's get ready."

When Sara, Rip, and Mick returned to the promised ship carrying a sack of potatoes Clarity grabbed them. Split them up 50/50, chucked half of them across the hall and then in a blink of an eye there was some sort of potato war happening. The Glitch, Zari, Amaya and Jonas, having made potato guns and there was an all out war happening between them. Super and totem powers being used to ensure no one was seriously injured. Gideon keeping score of what shots would count as hits. Though Sara was shouting reprimands, calling for a cease fire, Mick stepping in to just throw a few himself, Rip looked at his son and saw a smile that he hadn't seen on his face in months. Maybe years, he was having fun, genuine fun, so of course Rip decided to join in on the potato war too leaving Sara to duck for cover wondering if she was the only sane one on this team.

"Sara?" Nate's voice chimed into the coms once the potato war was long since over. Clarity and Jonas having been victorious. Though Zari was insistent she let the kid win, Clarity and the kid were just better with guns. Now they were all in normal clothes save for Rip and Jonas, gathered in the parlour. The boy didn't have his head stuck in his ds but rather was fast asleep in one of the chairs. The battle having tuckered him right out. Clarity was doing her best to track Nate but there were so many people in London it was challenging to pick out his hum, and his com was so small...it was impossible and she was getting upset with herself.
